Bond for appeal was placed at $500 on each case. Efforts were made to secure Mr. Thompson's release on a suspended sentence on condition that he would not drive a machine again, but Judge Rossman declared that since the man had apparently not been taught a lesson as a result of his first arrest. there must be some good substantial proof furnished that he would not try again to drive a machine in an In toxicated condition before any lenien cy could be expected. It was declared that Mr. Thompson had lost his wife only a few months ago and that he was in a highly nerv ous condition. A jail sentence now, claimed the defense, would ruin his business and destroy his home. He has a 13-year-old daughter who is attending high school.
